Fuzion Frenzy Demo (360)
Sep 25th
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Most obnoxious soundtrack ever, ever, ever.
Shit, shit, shit.
FEAR Demo (360)
Sep 25th
Just like the PC demo, but with rubbish controls.
No, not rubbish because they’re joypad controls, rubbish because they’re rubbish.
Mega Man ZX (DS)
Sep 25th
I’ve got further. Now I just need to find Guardian HQ to complete my mission, or something.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (DS)
Sep 23rd
Still playing this.
Still not quite sure why.
Got some new team members this evening. That’s nice.
Harvest Moon: It’s A Wonderful Life (GC)
Sep 23rd
So, started up the Gamecube version to show my wife. She’s now playing it. I wish I could answer more of her questions, but it’s ages since I last played.
Harvest Moon DS (DS)
Sep 23rd
My wife’s playing this (and the GBA version), so I decided to have a look. Like all new Harvest Moon games, it’s a mixture of the utterly familiar and completely baffling. In this case, with a very odd interface that relies on both the touch screen and the buttons in odd combinations. I’ve not played it much yet, there’s a learning curve I need to battle through.
Test Drive Unlimited (360)
Sep 21st
I took the Caterham for a spin, loved it, decided to try and save up for it.
Except I can’t seem to do the E class challenges. Going past speed cameras? Too slow. Time trials? Too slow. Delivery mission? Failed by crashing straight into a police car, meaning a huge $10,000 fine and having to pay $4,000 compensation to the guy who asked me to deliver the package.
The end result? I have less money now than I started the day with.
Bother.
Mega Man ZX (DS)
Sep 20th
Stuck game on Easy mode, sat through the incredibly long initial cutscene, killed the first boss and now I’m on my first mission… except I can’t work out where to go. Am completely stuck. Feel stupid.
